My situation is a little different… I’ve been there and done that. Had to pull over and actually take a hiatus because my site was too popular (without the education). Now I’m just building a database of content for the years ahead after getting some professional training. AdSense is starting to come around again using different methods without a web server. Still, there is a lot of problems yet with the way advertising money is being distributed. IMHO, TV ads should be worthless compared to YouTube ads which have REAL numbers. View counts are the most important factor when broadcasting your content.

Step C. You will probably also want your users to be directed to a "thank you" page after completing a payment. You can input this URL in the "Website Payment Preferences" section of the Profile tab. If you use checkout_process.php again, then users will be presented with a simple thank you screen (this is built in to osDate). Or, if you'd prefer to create your own thank you page, or re-direct users to a different domain altogether, you can do that as well. Your system will still be correctly notified of the successful payment by virtue of the IPN system that we've already set up. Thus, setting up Auto Return is recommended, but not required.

Don't pay for outsourcing if you can get it for free: Here's just a few words about non-human automation... Much of the processes could be automated even withouth outsourcing. For example, you could establish community forums (already integrated with osDate) to setup member-to-member support, where members help each other out. Another example is cancellation of memberships which could also be automated easily.

The first step to making a living as a graphic designer is to build a portfolio. The portfolio is like a resume for designers to showcase their skills. Every time you finish a project that you are proud of, adds an example from the project to your portfolio. With the right training and the right marketing skills, you can make extra money on the side doing something that you really enjoy doing.

A site from the FriendFinder Network that is constantly one of the top converting web sites. Maybe you have a site that isn't outright "adult" in nature, but it's more provocative than the traditional "vanilla" dating sites? Passion.com has all the high-converting designs and functionality of AdultFriendFinder, but with considerable restraint in the nudity and language departments. With over 23 million satisfied members worldwide, this program has created significant wealth for many affiliates. Now, it’s time to plan out your show. If you’re doing an interview-style show, you’ll now want to start getting some guests involved. You can use your existing social network to reach out to people you already know or are connected with on Twitter or Facebook. You can also head to Medium or Amazon to find authors or experts on topics specific to your niche.

I’m a crafty person. In addition to my budding design business have a ribbon shop on etsy. While that’s not passive it allows me diversity in my workday. Also another income stream I’m looking into is becoming a fitness instructor. While its not passive it allows me to get away from my desk, get out of the house, and get some exercise. I guess it would be considered passive if I created exercise videos and sold them on my site.

Create a leave-behind or handout, such as a brochure or booklet, featuring printed copies of your work, along with your name and how to contact you to buy or request commissions. Ask one of your desktop publishing or graphic design-inclined employees to use a word processing or desktop publishing program to generate a brochure from a template, which will quicken the setup process and give you marketing materials quickly.
Once you’ve gathered a list, put together a template outreach email (as you’ll be doing this over and over) that’s short and clear with expectations. Tell your potential interviewee who you are, what your podcast is about, and what you’re asking of them. Do a few test interviews with friends and family to make sure everything is being recorded at the quality you want and then book your first episode.
Well, you need to have a very popular website to make really good money from it and I don’t think it’s a great idea to fill out your personal blog with tons of affiliate links or ads. People may stop trusting you and you’ll be redirecting all the traffic away from your own website (you may do a better job by recommending your own products instead). Start your own dating affiliate program. If you have a profitable dating site that already has a decent amount of daily traffic, you can create a dating affiliate program to boost your sales. It gives people a nice incentive to use your site and it can drive a lot more traffic to it. It will take some planning as you will need to track your referrals and pay affiliate commissions to your members when they're due. Sell Personal Information: You must be very careful if you choose to do sell other peoples private information to any third parties. Participate in permission marketing, where you permit other companies to send advertising to your members through email, SMS etc. and you will get a percentage of the revenue. Do not sell your members private information unless they have clearly permitted you to go through with this.
The next step, of course, is to dive deep into the wealth of data at your fingertips. Everything that you need is here, and it’s all easily filtered, sorted, and searched through. Look for parameters that are offering the best CTR or look how you’re doing with EPC or CPC. This can reveal new opportunities for growth, as well as what campaigns you should probably drop. Well done and very informative! Considering the original content is a few years old do you have any updates, as far as software is concerned, for developing a dating site? Asking for an opinion as far as WordPress is concerned...just how much "extra" work is involved? I know that most of the elements would be plug-in solutions and each of those has to be managed/updated independently. Have you heard of or experienced yourself issues with incompatibility between plug-in updates? Is there a way you can recommend a mentor? I understand a true investment is involved & I'm all for it. I have specific questions for my site. Is WordPress user friendly if I'm not if I'm not an experienced web designer? I'm a little fuzzy on that part. I'm for sure using Skadate. Is there an email address I may contact you? I want this to to beyond successful & want to get it right. Thanks for giving such great research information. Hope to hear from you soon.
